Message:A lightsaber Darth Vader used in the Star Wars films "The Empire Strikes Back" and "Return of the Jedi" sold at auction Thursday for more than $3.6 million.
The lightsaber was made from a 1950s camera flash bulb attachment and expertly modified by the production team into a lightsaber. It says the piece bears authentic signs of wear that serve as compelling evidence of the lightsaber's direct involvement in the action — testament to its film-used authenticity.
I won't damn the buyer, since it was either that or a three-color painted, four-hundred figure Warhamer army.
Yours,
